(22,119 posts)My college roommate and one of the women across the hall loved them. Her roommate and I hated them. When they went into a sardine frenzy, we found something else to do and left our rooms with orders to deposit the cans on another floor.
Now fresh sardines are a different thing. We ate them in Spain, fried crispy and on a fish platter. We did not know what we had, except it was good. Turns out we had fresh sardines and fresh anchovies (another abomination when canned) Needless to say we were shocked!
